Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[nopardons]

Good! No rush,no rush at all. :-)

[bonfire]

He swears he's married, but I just don't buy it. And highly doubt he's employed. But, stranger things have happened!!

[Quix]

I'm certainly with you on that score!

Alas, I've been considered fringe in a list of ways most of my life. LOL.

While I've actually been more traditional, conservative, and even an old fuddy duddy stick-in-the-mud even as a teen! LOL.

However, I do tend to think outside the box and to have an interest in a very wide diversity of topics--including some "fringe" ones.

[wouldntbprudent]

you're saying that he's just promoting his forum at our expense?

listen to the audio and you'll see this is exactly what he was doing

[tapatio]

Remember FRiends, the DUmmies just east up this type of cannibalism that knee-jerk conservatives, libertarians and moderates engage in with each other.

Yes they do! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1601020&mesg_id=1601020

Well, at the risk of being cynical, it would appear that Hannity is bashing FreeRepublic in order to raise the profile of HIS site. People HAVE been know to climb over their friends. My advice to Hannity is that he must realize that he has enough wealth by now, he doesn't need more. Slow down Hannity, and don't kick your friends in the teeth,

It was rumored that some callers would ping-pong between BG/WOR and Sean's show/WABC some time back.

Screeners would get POed if that caller did not stay with one station

BG is a pretty sharp guy - he knows how to draw out a caller and develop a topic

Grant has a background that gave him an advantage over the others

You see a good bit of BG's interviewing and humor in Rush and Malzberg

-- Pardon me - I have to tell someone to get off my phone.....

[Torie]

Ludicrous. And over my considerable tenure here, I know a lot more about the personalities and interplay on FR than Hannity ever would, and this relative moderate is "sensitive" to fringe and nut cases. When they emerge, they are almost invariably challenged and subjected to debate, to the extent that they are not rather rapidly banned (sometimes rather too rapidly IMO). You are just wrong Sean. Period.

[doug from upland]

I'm even more pissed hearing it the second time. What a low blow. When he went national, we were putting up threads to discuss his show. We have always supported him. Sean, this is crap.

[moehoward]

C'mon now, picking on his radio show isn't fair! He flies by the seat of his pants.

hmmmmmmmmmm.........Maybe he's coming up a little short in those pants......

[processing please hold]

You're welcome :-)

[nopardons]

Sean isn't the brightest bulb in the box and yes,especially since Todd posts to his site,Sean was very hypocritical today.OTOH he DID also say,which only I posted (long ago,now),that he DOES like a LOT of FREEPERS and that they're (we're) good people.

July 4, 1998 Opening Call into RUSH Substitute EIB Talk Show Host TONY SNOW:


"PETER ARNETT should be fired for his false CNN-TV Operation Tailwind media accusations about our U.S. Military gassing one another during the Vietnam War.
He saw in person how American Soldiers bravely took care of each other at our Battle of the IA DRANG Valley-1965 and knows that they would never attack one another in combat. He just knew better, he just know better."

In response to my Call that day TONY SNOW shared on the air how as an adult he got down on his knees to apologize to his Vietnam Veteran father for demonstrating against the Vietnam War in the 1970's.

TONY SNOW = A Good, Good Man.

PETER ARNETT = Fired by CNN in April-1999

I thought it was funny whenever he would tease that he was going to have a "shootout" with some smarmy Liberal, then by the end of the hour, he was kissing that Liberal's butt.

Well-said, big sky, well-said.

Hey Moe

What ya doing on the site that this picture came from?

some kinda contributor?

I love, agree with and appreciate the sentiment that the picture portrays, but I also know that it is photo-shopped so Hannity gets no props.

Crying Shame, but it isn't his style, his menu is more the flippers of the world, and may I remind you that every vote counts.

Sean has his place, those that were offended by his broadcast today need to grow a little callous over whatever got rubbed the wrong way. Grow up.

[Dolphy]

You've nailed TODD;except that he was NEVER a "big name" on any net site.

He was quite active another site that seemed to become prominent during the Chandra Levy days. Sadly, he was the FR poster boy there and used to denigrate this site.

[nopardons]

Yes,THAT guy and you aren't alone in having run-ins with him.Unfortunately,I know him far too well. :-(

And since TODD is posting on Sean's new forum,what Sean said about it being better monitored than FR,is a lie of massive proportions! Free of KOOKS? WITH TODD POSTING PROMINENTLY? ROTFLMSO

Man, was that on the fringe or what?

Ping!
